"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, along with all the other concubines, are here to pay their respects." The palace maid came in and announced with some caution: "Do you want to see your Majesty today?"
"..."
All the concubines in the front hall were seated in the hall, and the first one was the concubine De. Today, the Holy Emperor has not appointed concubines. The four concubines who are virtues, Shu, virtuous, and good are all in their place. There are also many remaining concubines. It is just like collecting cards. There is no concubine in the palace.
Fallen.
Everyone present has different expressions. They seem to be friendly on their faces, but they don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts.
"I heard that Sister Xianfei was ill yesterday?" The woman sitting at the bottom, wearing a gorgeous dress, said with a smile: "I wonder what kind of illness Sister Xianfei is suffering from, and why do you have to invite the emperor with great fanfare?"
"I heard that the emperor changed his route on the way yesterday and turned around to go to the Queen's Palace." Concubine Yuan raised her lips and smiled, looking at Concubine Xian and saying, "Sister Concubine Xian is ill at the wrong time." Concubine Xian looked a little ugly. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice. She said with a smile on her face: "A little bit of cold is not a big deal. Sister Yuan Concubine has very good hands and eyes. She even knows exactly when the emperor comes and leaves?"
”
Concubine Yuan's eyes changed when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the jingle of the bead curtain. All the concubines in the palace stood up and walked to the front of the palace to kneel down and worship: "See you, the Queen, may you be blessed and safe." Concubine Xian and Concubine Yuan have always been at odds with each other in this palace. I heard that the position of Concubine Xian almost belonged to Concubine Yuan back then, but I don’t know what tricks Concubine Xian used to get the emperor to raise her position.
Since then, the two have often stumbling upon each other. The quarrel they just had was just a small quarrel, and Si Ningchi in the palace could hear it clearly. Facing the drama of palace fighting in this way is much more exciting than watching a TV series!
"Let's all take a seat." Si Ningchi's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the concubines below and couldn't help but sigh, a hundred flowers blooming is nothing more than that, right?
Concubine Xian and others were also secretly sizing up the airborne empress. No matter how many times they saw her, they couldn't help but marvel at such an alluring appearance.
It has been three years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, and the earliest concubine who entered the palace has also stayed for three full years. Which one of them has not been promoted from a low position? Only this empress entered the middle palace with an imperial edict and became the mother of the world.
The Queen.
Si Ningchi sat in the back seat, and the palace was abuzz for a long time. Everyone was panicking and wondering what the queen would do to them, but they didn't expect that Si Ningchi didn't bother to be with them at all. On the day he entered the palace, he executed someone who contradicted her.
Princess.
The corpse was exposed in front of the Fengwu Palace, which made many people tremble with fear and fear.
I don’t dare to have the slightest contempt for this Queen.
"I heard that the emperor rewarded the jasper and glazed pearl to the queen yesterday. I have only seen it in books. I wonder if it is really that bright and beautiful?" Concubine Li deliberately took out the pearl with a bit of flattery on her face.
Huantou said: "This is the only jasper and glazed pearl in the world."
"Your Majesty is so kind to the Queen. Unlike others, you can't even ask for anything." Concubine Li said and looked up at Concubine Rong, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Concubine Rong claimed to be the most talented woman in the Tianqing Kingdom. Not only was she famous, but she was also favored by the Queen Mother. She was bound to get the jasper and glazed orb. She thought that the emperor had already relented and was waiting to express her gratitude. Who could
I thought that in the blink of an eye, the orb would actually enter the gate of Fengwu Palace.
Si Ningchi sat in a high position, playing with the jade at his hand, lowering his eyes and smiling slightly: "Unfortunately, I just asked someone to take the orb to make a phoenix crown. I'm afraid I won't be able to let you all enjoy it."
"I heard that the orb was an old possession of the Queen of the Kingdom of Chang. The Queen of the Kingdom of Chang caused trouble and practiced witchcraft, and was burned to death on the altar. It is really ominous..." Concubine Rong said in a calm tone. "What Concubine Rong said is really ridiculous." Si Ningchi curled his lips and looked at her and said: "Who is the Queen of the Chang Kingdom? Even the Emperor of the Chang Kingdom is a prisoner of war under our Tianqing horse, not to mention this jasper glazed orb.
I wear it."
"It's the Emperor's Seal of the Kingdom of Chang. I can cut it and make it into an ornament." Si Ningchi held up his chin and looked at Concubine Rong with a smile: "What does Concubine Rong say?"
"Is it you who can't wear it, or I, the Queen of Tianqing Kingdom, can't wear it?"
"..."
"If the queen can't wear it, no one in the world can wear it." Before Concubine Rong could answer, she heard a deep voice coming from outside the palace. All the concubines in the palace trembled and hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "See you, Your Majesty." Concubine Rong's face was a little panicked. She never expected that the emperor would come here suddenly, and she didn't know how much the emperor had heard of what she just said...
Si Ningchi, who still hadn't regained consciousness, also stood up. Looking at the concubines who were all kneeling down, she seemed to stand out from the crowd, and she quickly wanted to salute.
Zhao Zongheng raised his hand, stepped inside and said with a calm expression: "I didn't know that Concubine Rong was so powerful that she compared herself with the Queen. How could a country allow you to make such arrogant comments?"
"I think I have too much free time. I heard that the scriptures for the ceremony have not been copied yet. Si Zan Bureau has been working hard day and night for this and it is time to take a rest. I will ask Concubine Rong to write the rest of the scriptures for me." Zhao Zongheng was sitting in the Si Zong sitting position.
Ning Chi glanced at Concubine Rong and said slowly.
"I would also like to learn what it means to cultivate one's moral integrity and calm down one's energy, and what it means to be disciplined by a palace concubine."
Although her tone was so calm, the words she spoke made Concubine Rong turn pale, and she lay prone on the ground, not daring to say another word.
Si Ningchi glanced at Zhao Zongheng in surprise, probably because he didn't expect that he would stand up for him in such a trivial matter.
Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes: "Since there is nothing to do, what are you still waiting for?"
He just drove away all the concubines in the palace in such a grand manner. Si Ningchi, who lost his right to speak, said: "...?"
When the hall returned to purity, Zhao Zongheng turned to look at Si Ningchi. He just stared at you without saying anything, as if he was communicating with your brain waves...
Si Ningchi blinked his eyes, tilted his head and said tentatively: "Thank you?"
"..." Zhao Zongheng pursed his lips.
Brain wave communication failed.
You damn thing are talking!
"I, I haven't eaten yet today." Zhao Zongheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, pursed his lips tightly and stared at Si Ningchi.
"..." You've been here for a long time to eat!
No wonder he was so kind to speak up for her. Si Ningchi rolled her eyes secretly. She hadn't eaten anything herself and was so hungry that she simply ordered a meal together and asked Su Yongde to go to the imperial kitchen and tell them to cook and deliver it according to yesterday's recipe. Zhao Zongheng was in a good mood and sat down to drink tea after the meal.
He took a sip of the tea cup to dilute the spicy taste left in his mouth. He paused and looked at Si Ningchi sideways and said, "What does the Queen want to carve?"
"Ah?" Si Ningchi touched his belly and was about to lean back. When he heard Zhao Zongheng's words, he straightened up again.
"The jade seal of the Kingdom of Chang is here with me."
